Repair, don't produce new! With automated LMD

In terms of economic as well as ecological sustainability, this call is absolutely true and future-oriented. When it comes to repairing moulds and components instead of producing new ones, laser metal deposition (LMD) is a proven key technology - with a growing potential for new areas of application. The focus of the "reFORM" workshop at the CHIRON Group's OPEN HOUSE 2022 was on the automation of LMD repair processes. And one thing became clear: it's not that simple. But those who know how to implement it gain time, save costs and - act in an extremely sustainable manner.
